The California child welfare system is known for longstanding racial disparities and disproportionality. California and Los Angeles County have slowly and steadily reduced rates of substantiated child abuse. However, the current state of child welfare is difficult to gauge, because of simultaneous COVID-related increases in risk factors for child abuse and decreases in abuse reporting
More than 22,000 LA County children under 18 had substantiated child maltreatment allegations in 2019, the last full year and most local geography for which data are available. With a child population of over 2.2 million children, this equates to a rate of 10.2 substantiated allegations of child abuse per 1,000 children.
| Maltreated Children | Children Under 18 | Maltreatment Rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles County | 22,815 | 2,231,467 | 10.2 |
| California | 69,652 | 9,061,651 | 7.7 |
